Susan Wides says:
My photographs explore what I see and what it sparks in me– the way the physical phenomena of the world are experienced by the senses and imagination. Intuitive insights, states of awareness, and visual thinking – manifestations that exist only in fleeting perception are at the center of my work.

Just stumbled on this: a really cool project pulled together by Arthouse co-op in Atlanta… You send them $18 and they send you a disposable camera with 24 shots to document your life this summer.

You have to admire Vivitar. The company has the cojones to sell an all-manual, 35mm film camera in a world where film is pretty much dead, at least as a mass-market product.
I got a mail from the Vivitar PR people earlier this week asking me to take a look the V3800N

Laugh all you like but, when combined with the infamous focussing problems, the top-end EOS is starting to look less and less attractive.
Fake Chuck Westfall is even less charitable about the latest Canon debacle:
At least be happy about the fact that we are finally acknowledging the problem and are offering to fix it for you, and this, ofcourse, after waiting for two years now while many users have been complaining about this on forums everywhere. At least two years is a lot faster than waiting 3 years to release a service notice for the 5D mirror falling off, right?

Stuart Franklin says:
It was odd: at the beginning, the Tiananmen Square demonstrations had an upbeat, almost rock festival feel. But then as the army moved in, it turned ugly. So the following morning, I was on the balcony in my hotel room on Chang’an Avenue in Beijing, about 150 metres from Tiananmen Square. I couldn’t leave the hotel, as Chinese security had occupied the lobby. It was a bit frustrating: having grown up with the Magnum ethos that if a picture isn’t good enough, you’re not close enough, I found myself looking on with quite a long lens.

Having had the pleasure of sitting down with a big box or two or three of Tom’s prints, having seen an exhibition of prints on the walls of the Howard Greenberg Gallery two years ago, as a fellow craftsman, I tip my hat. His prints, to borrow Bill Arnold’s stolen line, “sing.” If Edward Weston’s prints sang like some great tenor, Tom Arndt’s prints sing like Nat King Cole. The reproductions in this book are excellent, do fair justice to the pictures, but lack the subtlety of the originals.

I consider it hell on earth, literally. The smell, the smoke, the heat, the conditions. No human should have to live here, work here, grow up here, exist here, yet thousands do.
